Tom Lake, editor. A New York State Deptartment of
Environmental Conservation, Hudson River Estuary Management Program
presentation. DEC Commissioner Michael Zagata sees this almanac as a
partnership between citizen volunteers, state government and private donors.
Collectively these groups and individuals have been responsible for
recording hundreds of observations from Lake Tear of the Clouds to New York
Harbor. Their concern, dedication, and positive response have created a
valuable record of the natural history of flora and fauna that will serve to
guide and inform users of the Hudson River for years to come. In reading the
Almanac, we can see in our mind's eye, the spawning of the shad, the flight
of the swallows, the migration of the monarchs. Moreover, by annually
recording observations of life, we can detect changes over time and, when
needed, investigate the reason(s) why.-Robert H. Boyle Exceptional graphics
set off this compilation of the work of hundreds. 8.5 x 11. 128 pages.
